Turning flight mode on will initially bump you off WiFi and radio. However you can turn WiFi back on after that...

There may be another method to stop the radio from searching for a carrier but I dont see why airplane mode wouldnt work...

Anyone experiencing their phone shutting off? I am getting that from time to time if I am away from the phone for awhile. I hit the power button and it boots right up.

Awesome ROM by the way. It's great to be able to run ics on the captivate. Thank you!

Search Button Problems

First off, love this ROM. I've been following it since RC1 and it's been great. You guys have certainly done some amazing work.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, it's more of a nuissance than anything; but I can work with it.

The only issues I'm having is the occasional death sleep where I can't wake the phone up and have to reboot. Happens every few days or so, not a huge issue. I know a few people have mentioned this above.

The second one, which I was eluding to in the beginning, is the search button will randomly just keep blinking and opening up as if I was hammering the button over and over. Which isn't the case, as I rarely use the search button at all.

It happens mostly in the facebook application, which in itself is not the best application out on the marketplace by any stretch.

Hopefully this doesn't seem like a double post, more just to inform the developers of the issue.

I have tried reinstalling the ROM multiple times to no avail. It still persists.

It's definitely not enough for me to walk away from this ROM, just annoying.

Thanks for everyone's hardwork on this and looking forward to more releases to come!

edit: this started happening on 4.2 (I upgraded from RC3 to 4.2, I fell behind on checking my updates! )

This may be of help. Works for me. Although I'm currently using a different ICS ROM, it should work with ICSSGS also:

[HOW-TO] Kill self-activating Search Key
[Captivate Android Development] LBCaptivate:
I have been running this Rom for a few weeks now. I have only had 2 issues. 1. Sometimes there is a delay in response time when I open and app. 2. The dial pad takes a hard touch to get it to respond. I was in an AT&T store today messing aound with some of the new phones running Gingerbread and notices that they all respond much faster. Anyone know of a fix for the lag?
[Captivate Android Development] Joe777G:
Yeah there is a fix for that..... Buy one of those newer dual-core phones you were messing around with that also have faster memory and flash storage. LMAO. Seriously?

This ROM plus the Glitch V14 B5 kernel has my phone running smoother, quicker, and with better battery life than it ever has.
[Captivate Android Development] LBCaptivate:
:D

OK I will rephrase this just for you. Eclair on the Captivate dos not have the same lag, but this rom blows them all away. I know better that to ask about an update to this Rom, but if anyone else noticed the same thing, is there a fix?

I will try Glitch.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] canadaboy37:
I've had this, too, but I've narrowed down to when the battery is between 60-50% left. Any time in that window if I leave the phone for awhile (at least an hour), it shuts off. But only in that window. I've even tried other batteries.

Odd, but a small hassle compared to the overall benefits of ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] portalgod:
Try glitch, and also upgrade from RC4.1 from 4.2. I agree with others that say icssgs + icy glitch v14b5 has my cappy running smoother, faster, and with better battery life than I've ever had.
[Captivate Android Development] ldmelo:
Great app! thanks

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

With this rom with glitch kernel I get:

1. longer battery life when compared to CM7. It is close to the battery life I had with a stock rom. A light user will probably keep it unplugged one every other night. Heavy users will get through the day.

2. stability for a daily use.

3. ICS preserved as it is intended to be, original icons, colors, etc

4. I can use my 32gb sd card (that I couldn't use with cm7 - not supported)

5. and about speed. I am pretty happy with the speed of this rom, can't understand what some people complain... menus are smooth, apps run just fine.

Hey, everyone deserves a break!

Been running 4.2 with the Glitch Kernel for 2 weeks now. Super happy with the way the phone works. No reboots (except for me messing with ocing) and good battery life out of my 18 month old battery. Everything just works...

[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
Seriously, for me, 4.2+glitch is gold. I haven't had any issues except occasional modem issue and the compass. I get tremendous battery life on a normal day (24 hours uptime with 40% battery left). Stable at 1.3GHz though that does bleed the battery quick when playing games.
[Captivate Android Development] rodcpierce:
how are all of you guys getting such great battery life? I have tried every ICS rom, and so far Slim gives me the best battery life, zero lag or slowness, etc. But my battery life isnt worth a hoot on any of them if I use the phone more then a couple times during the day. Today, I have sent maybe 10 texts, and checked a couple email messages, and I am down to 63%. Its been off the charger since 5:00am this morning. But I have brightness nearly all the way down, a black background, etc to try and conserve battery. Maybe this is just normal? IDK.
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
Well that was the beginning of a miserable experience. Battery mods all failed. Tried to restore with nandroid, stuck at boot animation. Re-flash ROM same result. Have to Odin back to stock now and start from scratch =(
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
I would look at other apps that maybe eating up your battery. Also if your signal is always switching back and forth can eat up your battery. I would look at apps first and then go from there.
[Captivate Android Development] rmewpm:
my battery was draining fast so I bought a new 1800 battery and now after 16 hrs off the charger I still have 20%-40%
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
Have you run your battery into the ground from 100%. The percentage isn't always an accurate representation of how much juice is left. About once a week I drain my battery until the phone shuts off. You'll find it'll hand somewhere between 1 and 4% for quite a while because there's plenty of charge left.

Edit: I also removed battery sucking apps like Google Maps and kill processes for others like "Words with Friends"
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
No you should not. This same thing happened to me when I accidentally flashed the wrong battery mod.

Wipe data and cache then factory reset then reflash 4.2. You will have to Tibu restore eveything but that's an easy batch and better than odin back to stock.

Then use the link I posted above for your batery mod and make sure you select the one for ICSSGS. They all work as I've tested them and am looking at it on my phone right now
[Captivate Android Development] jekostas:
FYI, this is a bad idea with lithium-ion and lithium-polymer chemistry batteries - they can be permanently damaged by overdischarge.

If you've wiped battery stats with your current ROM/Kernel combo, do the basics:

1. Check for useless background processes

2. Check data/wifi/screen brightness/GPS usage

If none of those help, try flashing a different modem. If there's a minor software incompatibility and the phone is constantly searching for a signal that will kill battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] grndnl:
hello everyone, I have a problem. Last night I flashed Icy glitch V14 b5 over RC4.2. Long story short, I wake up this morning and my phone is turned off, and refuses to turn on. what went wrong and what can I try to do to fix this?! thanks...
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
battery life: I saw a HUGE change after flashing the glitch kernel. It was night and day. Another big thing I turned off was widget auto-refreshes especially facebook/twitter. Face it, you don't need those widgets to update in the background as much as you think you need it do. Just pressed the refresh icon when you are checking. Only takes a couple seconds. The widget is still there, just no background refresh. I do leave the weather widget on refresh. I also have the standard live wallpaper running to boot.

[Captivate Android Development] basily:

Yeah, so what's the deal with USB OTG? I see it listed in the features, but no talk about how it works. Anyone?

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

True, but that's why your phone automatically powers down when the charge gets too low - it won't let you overdischarge. I doubt that running your battery down till your phone powers down will damage your battery, especially if you only do it once in a while. It does however allow your phone to re-calibrate and more accurately show your true battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
I think what you mean by overdischargeing is letting it die and wait almost a day to recharge it. When the phone dies like you said it doesn't overdischarge and for what i know you have to leave it like that for a long time to see some damage. Discharge till shuts off and then charge shouldnt do any harm to the battery.

Restore from backup --> bootloop --> long night

So... I thought I would post about my experience in case it can help someone else experiencing bootloops.

Here's what happened. I was getting the occasional poor call quality, so I thought I would try a different modem. I ran a CWM backup, then installed KG3. As soon as it booted up again, it looked as though all was well, but then I noticed that I didn't have any mobile internet connectivity (I now suspect that it was the service provider dropping the ball - but what a coincidence, no?) so I decided to flash back to JL2. Still no mobile internet. So I go to restore from my backup.

Here I had the problem that it would restore BOOT, SYSTEM, but then when it came to DATA, it couldn't mount it. In the end I did a wipe and managed to restore, but this is where the real fun started. On booting, I would see the ATT screen, followed by Glitch, then that funky animation started... and never stopped! Boot loop!!! No matter how many times I tried to restore, or how I restored, reboot, etc, same result - bootloop!

I tried every combination and permutation, and did manage to get an older backup to restore and boot properly, but not being happy with this, I kept at it. I finally figured out that the culprit was in the restored DATA. If I only restored BOOT and SYSTEM, no problem, but upon restoring DATA - you guessed it - boot loop!

Having virtually abandoned all hope, it occurred to me to try flashing datafix.zip, and... IT WORKED!!! I was able to boot up completely!

Of course, now I have incredible lag, but I've re-flashed datafix.zip (to remove the simlinks?) and it DOES still boot up properly, and not sure yet, but I think the lag is gone.

Phew!

Of course I wouldn't have gone to all this trouble if I wasn't completely in love with this ROM! Thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
Just got the low space warning... argh. Just when I thought things were going good.

I flashed datafix.zip but it's been sitting at "Fixing your data" for 20 minutes now. How long is it supposed to take? I don't recall it taking so long.

Is there another remedy other than flashing datafix? Like maybe clearing some cache somewhere, etc...?
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Maybe try button-combo back into recovery and try again - it only took a coupe of minutes to run on my phone...
[Captivate Android Development] flintdragon:
wow, datafix nuked my homescreens and looks like I just did a full wipe. All the apps look to still be there.

I don't know what happened but after I rebooted and re-applied the datafix, all hell broke loose. The home softkey no longer worked. When you long press the power button to bring up the options menu, it was missing the airplane mode and the 3 icon toggles. Also 3G was very slow. I tried factory reset + RC4.2, 3G was still slow where I could barely get a connection to sign in to my google account during initial setup. Same thing when I tried other ROMs and other modems. I had to 1-click back to 2.3.5 before install RC4.2 to again. Everything seems stable now. Whew...

kernel feedback

Flashed the Icy Glitch B5 kernel this week. So far I'm getting better results than was getting with Platypus. What got me started: My lock screen began locking up, I'd hit the power button to wake the phone up, then the touch screen would be unresponsive. Also, occasionally there would be a second or two delay from when I touched home button, to when something happened.

The glitch kernel has been very snappy. Install was a breeze, downloaded, flashed, rebooted. Battery life about the same, but it's only been two days, so maybe it gets better :rolleyes:

[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I'm getting this all of a sudden now too - thing is, I don't know if the datafix is "on" or "off" but I suspect "on" because I never had this sort of lag before I first applied it. Also, the reason I had to apply it in the first place was to get me out of my boot loop. Maybe that helps in debugging?
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
There could have been an error in the download of the datafix.zip file. Redownload and try again.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
But it's the same copy that DID work before. Perhaps it has become corrupted somehow? Now I'm scared to flash to it all seeing as it has screwed up some people's phones, and I don't seem t be able to make a reliable cwm backup...
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
I'm going to take another look at the data fixer (its been a while) and see if I can figure it what is going on and maybe make some improvements to it. I made the data fix a while ago so there may be something it is complicating with in the newer versions of the ROM that I did not foresee. I'm not at my computer right now, so I can't do it at this very moment, but I will pull the data fixer for now until I can get the issues resolved. Sorry for the problems you guys have been having.

And as for the assert error, the script is designed to do that if something about your phone doesn't meet the requirements to restore back to a non-data fix. There is no need for this check for the date fix itself, but it is necessary if you are trying to revert. I will try to work out a better system for that as well.

DST setting

Hey all,

I though I should mention that this morning the Spring Forward time change pushed my clock an hour back instead of forward. I am guessing it wasn't due to my provider but instead because of the ROM? What do you think?

Never mind, it just did not change automatically.
[Captivate Android Development] ldmelo:
Ok... still very happy with this rom, now running even faster after a live oc to 115% (over glitch v14b5).

One little thing that bothers me is that I am always in roaming, and, while in roaming, I don't know if the phone is on EDGE or HSPDA, since the icon only shows "R" over the signal bars. I noticed the same behaviour on other ICS roms... Is this a ICS thing?

And by the way, you guys know how to make this phone wake using the volume keys??
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
For the volume key thing you can either do a button remap or download the an app called no lock.

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I've never had that issue on any ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] shaker2k:
It's an ics thing I've roamed using every ROM and it always shows R for roaming.

As for the volume wake. It's an option on aokp roms. Not sure about this one.
[Captivate Android Development] ldmelo:
Maybe they decided to dismiss the connection type info from the notification bar to make some space to other stuff... If that's the case, I think is was an unnecessary "improvement".

I also noticed that if I use wifi while in roaming, the "R" just dissappers (it will come back if I disconnect the wifi). This looks like a bug to me.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Roaming isn't an ICS thing, you need a new modem.
[Captivate Android Development] ldmelo:
Maybe I wasn't clear enough... If that's the case, sorry for my bad english.

Roaming is not the problem, I can make calls and use 3g just fine. I was talking about the signal strengh icon used to notify the user that he is in roaming.

In some older roms (like stock Froyo) there were two separate icons, one for data connection and one for signal strengh. In ICS what I have is one single icon that shows me signal strengh and data connection (including also connection activity). While in roaming I have no informartion about what kind of data connection I am getting (if E, H, 4g, etc), since this icon will only show me an "R" over the signal strengh bars.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
This is an AOSP thing, in general, but if you want to call it an ICS thing then I won't stop you. Regardless, this isn't our doing, this is straight from Google. And the reason it does this is because in this case R IS your data connection.
[Captivate Android Development] ldmelo:
Yes, I understand and I partially agree. It seems to be a AOSP thing, and when I wrote "they decided" on the previous message, I was referring to Google.

But I can't agree that roaming IS my data connetion. "Roaming" is not a standard for wireless data transmission, it just refers to the fact that the phone is not in its designated area. Afterall, the meaning of roaming is much more related to the cost of the service you are getting than to the technology behing it. While roaming your phone may be using GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, 4G or whatever to transfer data.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
I'm just telling you why I think Google did it. I can't tell you on Google's behalf.
